In 1980, Michelle Smith published a book that triggered the Satanic Panic, a worldwide fear that Satan worshippers were recruiting millions to embrace satanism. Today, I explore the surprising science of false memories with Dr. Charan Ranganath, author of Why We Remember. Dr. Ranganath reveals how memory is more imagination than recollection, why some people vividly remember things that never happened, and why the Satanic Panic was based on fiction not fact. You'll learn: How Michelle Remembers sparked the Satanic Panic and shaped public fear. Why memories “recovered” in therapy can feel real but be completely false. How a memory expert misremembered her own mother's death. The shocking study where 40% of participants believed they committed a crime they never did. ---- Download the Reading List: https://nudge.kit.com/readinglist Sign up to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ Charan's book Why We Remember: https://charanranganath.com/ ---- Sources: 60 Minutes Australia.

Hindi - How Mahaprabhu frees from the illusions of the mind and the intelligence- Chaitanya Charan by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality
How to Speak Effectively & Resolve Conflicts part 1 By HG Chaitanya Charan Prabhu by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality
Why and how do we store certain memories and not others? What lifestyle elements influence memory for better or worse? Can traumatic memories be reframed and lead to reduction in symptoms?In this episode we get into the most recent research into memory. So, how we store memory; the different types; the way we actively construct it rather than simply receiving it; it's importance to our sense of self and framing of the world; to our attention and motivation; to our openness and updating our beliefs; and to Deja Vu. We talk about the influence of screen time and multi-tasking on memory; some unexpected life style factors that influence the quality of memory function and how they can feed into memory disorders; and we discuss traumatic memories and how we can reframe them, and the psychedelic research on that too.Fortunately, our guest is one of the world's most fun and knowledgeable authorities on memory, psychologist, neuroscientist, and head of the dynamic memory lab at The University of California Davis, Dr. Charan Ranganath. He's the author of over 120 scientific papers on memory and has recently released a fascinating book for the general public on all this, “Why We Remember”. Charan is also a rock guitarist with several bands so a man of many talents. What we discuss:00:00 intro. 07:20 The remembering self vs experiencing self. 09:30 We forget a lot, we're supposed to.11:00 Autobiographic memory.13:30 Episodic memory.14:20 Emotional intensity brings attention, which is linked to motivation.18:20 Association, cue and prompts, and the hippocampus.20:30 Memory athletes and training memory.21:51 Storifcation, mental schemas and ‘scaffolding' new memories with old blueprints.24:40 Preconceptions, bias and prejudice is baked into new memories.27:00 Imagining the past (re-membering) and imagining the future are very similar in the brain.29:15 The brain is not linear, rather a global network of dynamic interaction between brain regions simultaneously.31:29 Prediction error, goals, and memory enhancement.37:00 Dopamine drives our attention, interest and curiosity, multiplying remembering.43:20 Mental flexibility, youthful neuroplasticity, and openness to new experience.46::00 The ‘Stage of Life' theory of memory.49:00 The young brain needs to struggle to get the information they're curious about.50:15 Deja Vu research and familiarity.54:20 The environmental and social components of memory. 58:15 The act of remembering can change that memory.01:00:00 Collective memory - shared memories support sense of self.01:01:20 Life style factors: good for the body = good for the brain, so good for memory.01:02:00 The importance of vascular health and inflammation.01:06:30 Depression inversely correlates with memory.01:08:45 Screen time, focus and memory.01:10:20 Multi taking is actually switching, and leads to fragmented memories.01:12:30 Traumatic memories and reframing them.01:19:20 Psychedelic reframing of memories. 01:20:20 Extinction learning - learning to suppress memory prompts and re-write them.References:Charan Ranganth, “Why We Remember” Daniel Kahneman, “Thinking Fast and Slow”Hermann Ebbinghaus, “Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology” 1885Endel Tulving, ‘Mental time travel'Frederic Bartlett, 1930 ‘Imagining the past and constructing the future'Mathias Gruber and Charan Ranganath, “How Curiosity Enhances Hippocampus-Dependent Memory: The Prediction, Appraisal, Curiosity, and Exploration (PACE) Framework” PaperAnne Cleary, Deja Vu experiments article

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"Memory is the fuel that turbocharges our imagination. It allows us to put all sorts of unique possibilities together - our diverse experiences allow us to imagine things in different ways." - Dr. Charan RanganathRenowned neuroscientist Dr. Charan Ranganath reveals the fascinating connection between memory, imagination, and curiosity in shaping our cognitive abilities. Through groundbreaking research, he explains how our unique life experiences create distinct neural pathways that enable creative thinking and problem-solving in ways artificial intelligence cannot replicate. His work demonstrates how exposure to diverse experiences, even those outside our comfort zone, builds a rich tapestry of episodic memories that become the building blocks of innovation and imagination.Delving into the neuroscience of curiosity, Ranganath shares compelling findings about how our brains process novel information. His laboratory research shows that curiosity triggers dopamine release in the brain, creating a window of enhanced learning and memory formation. This discovery illuminates why downtime and daydreaming are crucial for memory consolidation and creative thinking, challenging conventional views about productivity and highlighting the importance of mental rest for cognitive development and innovation.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
Like many spinners, Charan Sachar discovered fiber crafts without realizing that they would transform his life. While studying for a masters degree in computer science, he began working with clay, making functional and decorative pieces. He loved the cool, slick texture of clay and the pleasure of working with his hands, eventually making pottery his full-time career. During down times in the pottery studio and at home, he began knitting. The soft texture and warmth of knitting proved a perfect complement to his work in clay. Knitting not only changed Charan's daily life, it also made its way into his clay work. Although his repertoire includes a variety of motifs, knitters have fallen in love with mugs and other vessels decorated with knitting and lace motifs. With a burgeoning stash of yarns for knitting and weaving, he was initially reluctant to create even more yarn by learning to spin. Then he saw colorful beehives and immediately knew that he needed to learn to make textured art yarns. After studying traditional and textured yarn techniques with a variety of teachers, he began teaching spinning at events across the country and as far away as New Zealand. In October 2025, Charan will teach at the Spin Off Autumn Retreat.

Dr. Charan Ranganath is a prominent neuroscientist, a professor at UC Davis, and the author of the influential book “Why We Remember.” This conversation explores the profound intersection of neuroscience and human experience. Charan reveals that our most resonant memories resemble paintings more than photographs, continuously reshaped by the present moment. We discuss the role of memory in identity, survival, and healing, as well as its implications in our digital age. During our exchange, I gained insight into why my cherished memories might be less reliable than I had previously believed. Charan is an impressive yet approachable voice in memory science.

Dr. Charan Ranganath returns to explore the complexities of human memory with Matt here today. Together, they delve into memory's architecture, examining how sleep, trauma, and AI impact its function. The discussion covers episodic and semantic memory, emphasizing the role of sleep in memory consolidation and challenging the traditional "archive" model with Dr. Ranganath proposing a dynamic web of interconnected associations instead. The conversation then shifts to trauma's effects, focusing on PTSD and innovative therapeutic approaches—including psychedelics—designed to enhance neural plasticity and reprocess traumatic memories. Nightmares and noradrenaline's role are explored, revealing how understanding memory's mechanisms can lead to better mental health.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Are sleep troubles keeping you up at night?

Parshas Vayeitzei: Guiding with Compassion The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. The Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Hinda Bas Udl, Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha begins with Ya'akov fleeing Beer Sheva, to escape Esav's anger. While traveling to Charan, he stopped overnight at Mt. Moriah, the future site of the Beis HaMikdash. That night, he dreamt of a ladder stretching toward heaven, with angels ascending and descending. G‑d then appeared to Ya'akov and promised him that He would give the land on which he slept to his children and guard him until he returned to Canaan. The following day, Ya'akov woke, recognized this mountain's holiness, and named it Beis E-l—"the House of G‑d." We find out how Ya'akov met Rachel. We learn Ya'akov's connection to truth and the path to educating others of the truth.
Send us a textIn this sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath draws parallels between the lives of Isadore and Nathan Strauss, the parsha's narrative of Yaakov's journey back to the Holy Land, and the enduring challenges and mission of the Jewish people throughout history. By exploring the Strauss brothers' devotion to Israel, Yaakov's escape from Lavan, and the recurring pattern of antisemitism in history, the sermon highlights our divine purpose: to illuminate the world with G-d's presence and moral clarity, wherever we may be.Key TakeawaysThe Choices That Shape History: Nathan Strauss's decision to stay in the Holy Land, missing the Titanic, underscores the importance of placing values and mission above convenience. Yaakov's choice to leave Charan, despite its challenges, reflects the yearning to reconnect with our roots and divine purpose.The Recurring Pattern of Antisemitism: From Yaakov's struggles with Lavan to Yitzchak's conflicts with Avimelech, the Torah reminds us of the historical cycle where Jewish success leads to envy, displacement, and eventual recognition of G-d's blessings. This pattern continues in modern examples, including the complex relationship between Jews and host nations like China.Our Divine Mission: Beyond economic or social contributions, Jews have a spiritual role in every community—to inspire faith, accountability, and recognition of G-d. The absence of a Jewish presence often leaves a moral and spiritual void, as seen in Avimelech's plea to Yitzchak: “We have surely seen that G-d was with you.”Actionable Inspiration: Recognize that every moment and decision—whether supporting Israel, staying true to Torah values, or fostering spiritual growth—contributes to our mission of being a light unto the nations.#Bible #ParshatVayeitzei #BibleStudy #Torah #TorahPortion #Rabbi #chabad #lubavitch #JewishHistory Managing Dental Drama PodcastOwning, operating, and managing a dental practice can be difficult and sometimes...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Matt dives deep into the science of memory with renowned neuroscientist Dr. Charan Ranganath, author of Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold On to What Matters in today's episode. Together, they explore the complex relationship between memory and the brain, touching on the roles of emotional significance, context, and even neuromodulators like dopamine in helping our brains decide which memories to retain and which to discard. Dr. Ranganath shares his unique journey into memory research and insights from his pioneering work at the Dynamic Memory Lab at UC Davis, where his studies have reshaped our understanding of human memory. He also explains the diversity within memory types—such as episodic, semantic, and procedural memories—and why they're all processed differently. Delving into extraordinary memory phenomena, he discusses hyperthymesia, false memories, and cases of severely deficient autobiographical memory, illustrating the varied ways people experience memory. This episode is a rich journey into the science and experience of memory, concluding with a refreshing reminder: sometimes, forgetting can be just as beneficial as remembering, offering us a balanced perspective on our memory's true role in daily life.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Long-time show sponsor LMNT is Matt Walker's go-to for a sugar-free electrolyte mix.

Abraham seems to always be journeying. In last week's Parsha he traveled from his birthplace of Ur to Charan. This week the Parsha begins with Abraham's journey to Canaan. He traveled there with his family, he traversed the land in every direction; and when famine strikes, he went down to Egypt and returns. Abraham's journey is more than being about sightseeing. This is the saga of the transformation of Abraham and the building of the Jewish Nation. What can we learn from Abraham's journey? What Abrahamic qualities shine forth in his narrative? In this very special edition of the Parsha podcast, recorded live on Zoom during the 2024 US elections, we explore Abraham dramatic transformation and when he departed from his sidekicks and fellow travelers. We also take a very careful look at a remarkable interaction between Abraham's concubine Hagar and the angel.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

How is it that we can't remember where we put our keys or the name of the person we just met, but we can recall in excruciating detail the embarrassing interaction we had at the grocery store ten years ago? Sometimes it seems like our memory works against us more than it does for us. But, as it turns out, this aspect of our memory is more a feature than a bug, and the key to understanding the difference may lie in our evolutionary history. Dr. Charan Ranganath, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at the University of California at Davis, joins us today to discuss his book Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold on to What Matters. Dr. Ranganath deftly guides readers through not only the “how” of memory formation but also the “why”, helping us to understand why we remember certain things and forget others. Tune in for a fascinating discussion ranging from the importance of context (like smell) in memory to the different types of memory, from decision-making to memory competitions, and so much more!

What if understanding how we remember could influence what we choose to remember? Memory is more than just a mental archive of the past; it is a dynamic process that shapes the present and the future. Understanding how we remember-or fail to recall-can have a significant impact on how we choose to preserve and prioritize our experiences. Exploring the science of memory can help us not only understand why certain moments remain with us, but can also help us enhance our ability to remember important events. Charan Ranganath, a leading expert in cognitive neuroscience, shares how the science of memory can help us focus on what truly matters in our lives and improve our ability to retain meaningful experiences. Through his book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold on to What Matters, he discusses how memories shape our lives and how we can harness this understanding to preserve the moments that matter most. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Charan Ranganath to talk about the essence of memory and its impact on our lives. This conversation will also reveal how we can optimize our memory to focus on the most important things and events, from managing our digital lives to embracing curiosity. Topics include: Charan discusses the imperfections of memory The connection between memory and emotion Charan debunks the myth of photographic memory The brain's overlap between memory and imagination How social interactions can shape memory accuracy The role of intention in strengthening memory Memory as a reconstructed experience Reframing memories for personal growth Enhancing presence and focus by eliminating distractions And other topics… Connect with Charan: Website: https://charanranganath.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charan-ranganath-1a1aa41bb Twitter: https://twitter.com/charanranganath/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thememorydoc/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Remember-Unlocking-Memorys-ebook/dp/B0C5VBNG4Y Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsors: Timeline - Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.
